Peace I Leave; Peace I Give
Lord let me be Your sign of peace
Passing on this gift to
all I meet
Bringing Your comforting calm
In words and acts, soft
and sweet
Lord may I celebrate Your peace
In how I act and how I
react
To what is said and what
is done
In the unknown and in living
fact
Lord may I live in peace
with all
Motivated by love of You
In thankfulness for all your
gifts
And love in what I say and
do
Lord may I bring Your peace
To those troubled with
doubt
To those who are angry and
confused
That truly You, they may not be without
Lord may I find peace in
everyone
In times of their distress
and anxiety
Bringing Your touch to all in need
One by one in this
troubled society
Lord thank You for this
gift
This treasure to be opened
Unwrapped then celebrated
and cherished
As Your presence itself
Given freely to be shared
in love
With all of Your children, always
In gratitude for this gift
from above
In humble thanks and
joyful praise
I pray that Your peace left with me may flourish
As a seed in soil well
warmed by grace
Moistened and nurtured by Your love
And that as freely it is given
to me
It too may blossom freely
forth from me
